Chapter 75: Picking up the package in the county town
The texture of the wooden board is relatively hard, and it is painted with a layer of varnish, making it shiny and glossy, and you can walk on it barefoot.
The three children couldn't help wanting to roll around on it, so Su He took out some old clothes and waited until she finished wiping the floor before letting the three children play.
When cooking at noon, Su He lit a fire in the stove next to the fire wall of the west wing, and the west wing became warm.
After the room was ready, she still had to find a way to get some toys for the three children.
After thinking about it, she decided to get some literacy cards, like building blocks. She couldn't explain to others where she had seen or learned them.
Just when she was thinking about what kind of cards to make, the logistics delivery person brought a parcel list to their home. The recipient was Su He and the return address was Liancheng's hometown.
After Su He got the parcel list, she told her mother-in-law that she was going to the post office in the county town to pick up the package.
She thought that she could also go to the supply and marketing store in the county town to buy some things, and when she came back through the town, she could go there to see what vegetables were available and stock up some to take home.
The order was delivered quite early, and when the two children, Da Mao and Er Mao, saw the package, they knew there was something good in it, so they urged her to go out and pick it up.
Teacher Wu: "I don't know how big or heavy the package is. How are you going to carry it back by yourself?"
Su He thought to herself: Did I cheat? But I can't say that out loud!
"Mom, have you forgotten I've been carrying things since I was a teenager?" Su He said with a smile, "I carried a load of over a hundred pounds from my mother's house to the highway, took a break in the car, and then carried it all the way to my second aunt's house at the station. Isn't it all carried all the way there!"
Teacher Wu smiled and nodded. "Yes, I've never seen such a capable girl, but it's been several years now. You haven't done it in the past few years, so you have to be careful and don't try to be too brave. If the package is too heavy, you can find a way to spend a little money and find a porter to help you carry it for a while. Remember?"
Su He nodded, and said to Damao and Ermao, "Go back and buy some delicious food from the supply and marketing department in the county town. We have been eating the snacks at home for so long, and there are not many left."
Xiaobao has recently been learning to talk, and he likes to repeat what he hears. When he heard his mother say she was going to the supply and marketing department to buy food, he kept shouting, "Mom, buy, buy! Delicious food!"
As for the location of the family quarters of their base, it is in the middle of the city and the county to which it belongs. Geographically speaking, it is closer to the village.
Therefore, the people in the family compound, apart from going to the town to buy things and go to larger places, go to the village. Of course, there is no car here, because the town cannot be found on the map.
So no matter where they go, they either walk or ride their own bikes. Those who are better off have jeeps, like Dean Yuan. Occasionally, when Jin Weiguo is at home, if the conditions are good, he can borrow a jeep from Dean Yuan.
This postal package cannot be delivered to the county. It will only be distributed to the next level as much as possible according to the territorial principle. Therefore, it will be collected at the post office in their county town.
The Tan family, from whom Su He often borrowed cars, had a husband who was also an engineer and a wife who lived in Lian Yue. They basically never visited each other or went out to gossip. The couple had been married for six or seven years and had no children.
But their car is the easiest to borrow, as long as you are at home, you can borrow it.
This time she also went to the Tan family to borrow a bicycle. When Lian Yue saw Su He coming to borrow a bicycle, she not only pushed the bicycle out of the room, but also said a few words to her.
Su He was a little flattered, thinking they wanted her to help buy something. She wanted to say, "Lian Yue, what do you want me to bring? Just tell me, I can bring it and I'll do my best to help you. Just don't ask me to bring too much!"
Lian Yue smiled: "How can that be possible? Xiao Su, hurry up and go. It's a long way to go. Don't delay!"
Su He was confused and felt that there was something wrong with Lian Yue's sudden enthusiasm. Who knew if she had just changed her personality?
Forget it, if you can't figure it out, just forget about it! She should hurry to the county town to pick up the package and go shopping. Listen to Xiaobao!
She rode her bike out of the family quarters from the Tan family and met several people along the way. After greeting them, they all knew that she was going to the county town to pick up a package.
When she reached the deserted road outside, Su He took out her makeup tools from her system warehouse, applied some dark foundation on her face, and wrapped her head with an old blue headband. After dressing like this, she knew without even looking in the mirror that she looked at least ten years older.
There is a reason why Su He is so cautious. Two days ago, two people were arrested in the family compound, one was Lin Jiadong and the other was Cuiying. These two people have not returned yet.
Cuiying's two daughters live with their grandmother in the family compound. Considering that the two children are children of martyrs, the higher authorities have not yet made a final decision on what to do.
In short, recently, neighbors in the family quarters who have a good relationship with each other will remind each other to be extra careful when going out.
When Su He arrived at the county town, he found it was indeed different from before. Groups of teenagers were shouting slogans and quotations at each other. The pedestrians on the road were all in a hurry. When they saw these teenagers, they pretended not to see them and hurried past.
When Su He saw this, she was glad that she was dressed simply and inconspicuously. She was afraid of the cold and had put on a fleece coat and fleece pants. Originally, she wore black corduroy pants over the fleece pants, which was not only thick but also looked coordinated. However, in order to make herself look more low-key, she still wore summer pants, and there was a patch on one of the knees.
Over her sweater, she wore a denim jacket with patches on the sleeves at the elbows. On her feet, she wore a pair of old men's slip-on cotton-padded shoes, warm but shapeless.
Su He looks like an older country mother.
